The Mind of Alex
On the lighter side of things today, this a stream of conciousness at lunch from the mind of our three-year-old son, Alex: (I mentioned something about God… then Alex says:) “I call him JE-sus. [to Dad] Sometimes, you call him Jesus. You can call him Jesus, too. Mom can call him Jesus, and You can…
Their Own Journey
Perhaps the thing God is teaching me the most at the moment is to respect the choices and decisions and lifestyles of other people. To really allow them to choose what they think is best for their lives. Whether it is meaningless like the insane compulsion to use inferior computers when Apple computers are far…
Only In Upstate NY
You know we live through long, cold winters when at the first sunny evening we will stand in long lines outside the door of our favorite local ice cream shop even though the temps haven’t been out of the low sixties for the entire weekend. The weather is definitely one thing I do like about…
Modeling Christian Faith
I was reading an article today that made me wonder why it is so hard to break out of the cycle of activities that so many think define us as Christians. The article commented on a mother who would read a chapter of Proverbs to her kids at breakfast and their family would always attend…

The Macintosh Computer
This is an interesting link I found a while ago. If you are at all a Mac enthusiast (like us) then you might be interested. It’s an hour long TV show about the Mac from TWENTY years ago! The clothing and hair-dos alone are worth clicking the link… 🙂 But, besides that, it’s pretty fascinating…
More Oversight?
Argh!!! These people make me so crazy! Why do some people think we can solve all the world’s problems through more regulations and oversight? Yes, the story of the little boy who died on a Disney ride is sad, but it does not mean that we need to slap lots of legal requirements on all…
The Colorado Effect
A few years back, we were planning a return trip to Colorado. We loved our first visit out there, it was just way too short! We pounded out more gigs than we had days there if I recall. Crazy! But every one of them was great, and we met some great people along the way…
Steal From The Poor, Give To The Rich
Don’t you think that it’s interesting that there are late fees charged by services and creditors? And that banks charge fees for “insufficient funds”? Shouldn’t they actually cut you some slack, maybe even give you money instead of taking it if you have “insufficient funds”? Makes sense to me… 🙂 I have just been finding…
